#1 World of Warcraft // Blizzard Entertainment Games - Specific Gaming PC request

CaptureChris · 10 Apr 2018 at 16:55

Good evening to all @OCUK,

Let me introduce myself, I'm Chris, 25, from the UK (Wait this isn't Tinder!?) All jokes aside...

I'm looking to finally build my own Gaming PC, I have experience PC building, I'm familiar with most hardware and software.

The main game I play(ed) and would like to return to for the launch of Battle for Azeroth (August 2018) is World of Warcraft.

I would have course explore playing other games, but with that said, I would like to achieve a stable 60 FPS whilst experiencing Raiding//Busy areas, when the graphics is at it's most strained point.

I feel overall I would like to spend no more than around £1200 - This would include OS and all components, I don't quite know how the market currently looks, though I have seen a peak in GFX card prices, I heard this was due to Crypto mining? I do like the idea of Intel over AMD, but I'll leave this down to your advise.

Regardless, if anyone could draw me up a parts list, aimed at good quality gaming, with any bonuses you can think of, I.E lower cost than my budget, more for my money, maybe peripherals? (Although this is not essential)

I have been on the website, trying to build a custom gaming PC for a while, and either parts are out of stock, or I'm ending up £400+ out of my budget, can anyone help and shed some light on this.

I would be very grateful, I look forward to hearing from those who can help me with this project.

Kindest of regards,

Chris.

Monitor and per peripherals required?

I feel it would be nice to have a good monitor included in my budget, but I do already own, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse and Headset, so I feel I should just focus the budget on the system itself, but two options wouldn't be a bad thing, I'm open.

Good morning all,

Thank you very much ExoMale & Tamzzy,

If I get my hands on a cheaper version of windows, when the PC is built, is it just as simple as installing windows myself, for the 1st time?

Some of these parts are not available to be chosen from the options they give? So for example, that build above from Orbitalwalsh, for £1269.00 I want OCUK to build it for me if possible, but some parts are not available :S?

Have tried, don't get no response from anyone who works @OCUK in response to me wanting to have what's in my basket built via them

CaptureChris · 11 Apr 2018 at 15:23

Thanks for all you quick responses @orbitalwalsh,

Yes I have an active post from yesterday evening on there, issue is, I'm at work, in the office, so on the forum communication is fine, but don't want to be talking finances out loud etc.

Guess I will wait for them to respond, just want to know if, I have picked XYZ from the online store, will they still be able to build it, as those items are not on their premade configuration page.

Also, any reason why this is so cheap for how good the specs look?

should be fine to build custom pc's- its their bread and butter and joy it seems haha

freesync monitors are cheaper then G-Sync due to not needing additional hardware

Are Freesync poorer quality compared to G-Sync then? Just curious if I grabbed x2 of these MSI monitors if it would be valuable?

no. not quite
freesync is amd radeon's implementation of adaptive sync. gsync is nvidia's

So if I was to buy those monitors on the previous page, they would be no use for the 1060 I'm planning on getting?

CaptureChris · 11 Apr 2018 at 17:14

So for example, you see those monitors I have linked, could you help find me Nvidia's equivalent? Or even just 2x very good monitors like those, but not too expensive?

Hi all,

Thanks for getting back to me, unfortunately not yet, I've been waiting for the right time, as I have noticed prices slowly starting to drop.

Still not convinced, I feel I need a system around £850//£900 that can have World of Warcraft: Battle For Azeroth perform very well, without having to pay over the odds.
